After the amazing Julio Jones sideline catch -- they did nothing. And I might add if the Falcons just ran the ball 3 times into the line on Atlanta's 20+ yard line, they would have run down the clock and probably kicked the game winning field goal. NE never would have been able to overcome it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said that a head coaches job (one of them) is to overrule the OC when necessary in exactly those circumstances. In retrospect, this makes a lot of sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
